What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) learn balance tasks using virtual reality. Researchers will measure movement patterns and brain activity during a 30-minute session and again after one week. The goal is to understand differences in learning strategies between the two groups.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Single-session balance intervention in virtual reality (GRAIL or CAREN system)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help design better balance training programs for children with coordination difficulties.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 50 participants. It does not test a treatment, so results may not lead to direct clinical changes.

Participants

About 50 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: For children with DCD * Children with the clinical diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) based on criteria of the DSM-5 (APA, 2013), diagnosed by a pediatrician. * Children who have no formal diagnosis are evaluated by the research team using the diagnostic criteria as outlined in the inclusion criteria, these children will be included as "suspected of having DCD" * Balance problems need to be present and objectified with the Balance Evaluation Systems Test for Children, second edition (Kids-BESTest-2). (total score below 80%) For children without DCD * Total score at or below the 25th percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for children, second edition * Normal postural control, objectified by the Kids-BESTest-2 (score at or above 80%) * Match with children with DCD based on their sex, age and potential comorbidities. Exclusion Criteria: Presence of: * Intellectual problems * Visual problems * Vestibular problems * Neurological conditions * Not able to follow instructions due to behavioral problems * Refuse to participate
